Does Scarab Pay Real Money?

You can play online slots for money when you’re physically playing from the legal U.S. casino states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and West Virginia, where BetMGM Casino is legally active.

How To Play Scarab

It’s quite easy to understand Scarab’s dynamics. Simply load the game, set your bet size, and start spinning the reels. 

Players can increase their chance of winning big by collecting Golden Frames, which appear with the scarab on the reels, and lock in place after the reels have stopped spinning. These Golden Frames stay in place for 10 rounds.

Scarab Game Features

The 4×5 reel set has allowed IGT to squeeze in 75 paylines, which means more opportunity to win. Players can use the “Auto Spin” function, which allows them to set a number of autospins. Then, sit back and watch as the reels work their magic. 

Scarab Bonuses and Jackpots

Scarab doesn’t feature a progressive jackpot, and players are unlikely to really strike it big with the 200x max multiplier. However, this game is designed to appeal to low-risk players who are happier to walk away with smaller, more regular wins.

In the 10th round of the game, all the Golden Frames you have are converted into wild symbols, increasing your odds of winning. This feature rewards players for their persistence throughout the game.

Landing 3–5 bonus scatter symbols on the reels, you’ll activate the Free Spins Bonus. Here, you can choose from one of three options, each with a certain number of free games in combination with a certain number of random wilds. The more free games on offer, the fewer random wilds will be provided. 

During the Free Spins Bonus, the wild symbols appear at random during each spin of the reels. Pyramid scatter symbols that appear can re-trigger your spins — if you’re lucky enough to land them.

How To Win Scarab

When you land three, four, or five low-paying symbols of a kind, they can win anywhere from 2–30 coins. The golden Egyptian symbols offer payouts ranging from 5–60 coins for three of a kind and up to 75 coins for five of a kind. When the Egyptian queen appears stacked on the reels, and you land 2–5 of a kind, it will award you with payouts ranging from 2–200 coins.

Scarab Graphics and Design

Scarab has taken a retro approach to the visual design, providing players with a nostalgic feeling despite the game being released in the middle of 2019.

The reels are set against a backdrop of sandy dunes and majestic pyramids, which shift from the dark oranges and yellows of the sands and pyramids to the deep blues and purples of the Egyptian night sky.

The score leans heavily on percussion instruments to drum up a feeling of tension and excitement, with wind instruments occasionally adding a calming moment, thus highlighting key changes in the game.

Scarab Symbols

The reel itself makes extravagant use of color, from blues and greens to reds and gold, to help the different game symbols stand out. These symbols include the traditional ace, king, queen, jack, and 10, as well as a variety of unique Egyptian-themed symbols based on commonly recognized iconography, such as an ankh, the eye of Horus, and Anubis in dog form. A wild icon and portrait of a beautiful Cleopatra-like character round off the graphics you see on the game’s reels.
